How often do you want to send new entries? How do you get them processed? SSH scp move files just fine, or you can nfs the files to show on the other server.

Is the other server listening for incoming SNMP traffic all the time (real-time logging), or were you thinking of sending them in bulk at a fixed frequency?

@DGPickett: SSH scp is not more useful here. we have to transfer from syslog to snmp trap.

Seems like you need a client to send your trap messages with udp port 162, maybe something in here: Net-SNMP - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia You can tail -f the log and filter out the lines you want to send as traps, being careful about latency such as with pipes.
